When you insert a tape into your drive make sure that the tape is deallocated and that you move the media from import to free using the management console, or simply start up the backup GUI after inserting the tape, a dialog box will appear and you can choose to move media to free.
This will erase the label of the tape and you should be able to backup to it afterwards.
